Indian village site that was continuously occupied between 100 and 1450 A.D.
heavily influenced by contacts with Mexico, the Hohokam built a Central
American style ball court and a large masonry platform mound surrounded by
caliche-brick dwellings between 1150 and 1450 A.D. The mound covers 3.3 acres
and stands 20 feet high. The Pueblo Grande Ruin contains exhibits on the
Hohokam people.

garden.

The Agricultural
Garden

When the Hohokam people first settled in the area, the Salt
River ran year round. Settlers constructed miles of canals, so that the Salt
River water could irrigate their fields of corn, beans, squash and cotton. The
Hohokam people most likely relied on manual labor and their domesticated dogs
to protect their crops from birds and small rodents.

The Ball Court

The Ball Court is the center of village life at one time. An
oval, bowl-shaped in the depressions in the ground, surrounded by mounds of
dirt that have dozens of spectators to watch what was happening in the court. Archaeologists
cannot be certain what the ballgame looked like or that it was a ballgame at
all. Some evidence suggests ball courts were associated with markets or trade
relationships.

outdoor exhibits in Pueblo Grande Ruins and be sure to stop by the Museum Store
in Pueblo Grande Museum. Original American Indian Art including baskets,
jewelry, pottery, paintings, kachina dolls and an extensive collection of books
